My dad is in his 90's. No dementia. He lives alone, and still drives during the day. He also does yard work, reads, repairs things around the houses, frequently socializes with younger friends, and is active in the community. I think those things help as well.
My Uncles are 101 & 89 No signs of Dementia. My Great Grandmother & Grandmother lived to be 97 & 94. GG Died in her sleep, Nona contracted hepatitis, NO DEMENTIA, They remembered everything in their lives.
2 summers ago the doctor said I had early dementia. Recommeded I get all my finances in order bc one day my memory will be gone. Ok, I stopped all drinking alcohol, junk food, sleeping late. I eat more healthy foods, fruits, veg, water. Little soda. No juice. No alcohol. I walk, read, do puzzle books everyday, . Sit in the sunshine. And learning American Sign Language on RUclips. I don't think I have it. 2 summers ago was my doctor diagnosis, mri result, whatever. I feel perfectly fine. My head is clear. My thinking...don't drink alcohol, that will literally kill brain cells. Feed your brain with oxygen, good thoughts, make it work,exercise with book, puzzle, walk in nature, and good food. Supplement. Obviously don't drink. Good health everyone.❤❤❤😊😊😊
Family member was not high risk. Lived in the Midwest near the heavily sprayed corn fields. Our food system including the way it’s grown, is making us sick.
Its really important to make videos and pictures of your loved ones while the disease is still dormant because its such a devastating eraser of their unique personality and health in the long term that you sometimes forget what they were like before they were engulfed by its tentacles. Those videos and pictures will remind you of how strong, kind, and loving they once were and why you should not give up on them, ever.
My heart goes out to those caring for their loved ones and may you be Supported as well during this most challenging time in your lives. Love Bruce and his family sharing this to help discover by education.
I work in a nursing home and see this all the time. It's a devastating disease. Thank you Dr Carlos for clarifying this. It's so sad to see people suffering from this.
Thank you for what you do. My daughter has worked in those kind of nursing homes as well as a nurse. It takes a toll on any person that is around folks who have this crippling illness and my daughter loved her patients so it was really hard on her. God bless you honey for being there for those who can’t help themselves any longer and they are the ones who need you the most. ❤
@@patriotgrammy8632 It's not just a crippling Illness it's a heart wrenching situation to see a loved one go, from having a vibrant and outgoing personality. To dying a slow death. I'm a Chha and have a relative who has it.
I often see families ,shopping in the grocery stores, their carts overflowing with processed food, rich in sugar, carbs, and soda pop. I have to strain my eyes to see vegetables, meat, raw and unprocessed staples and such. I am thankful that I grew up in a family that emphasized vegetables, meats, and real food. Desserts were a rare treat, and no one craved sugar. I am nearly 72 and haven't needed medical attention up until this day.
True. I remember being at the register ready to pay for my groceries. The cashier says to me, “you don’t have any junk food. Not one item is junk. Do you always eat like this (healthy)?” Another cashier would always call me Mr Organic. I sort of got ridiculed for buying healthy food.
Who buys Fruit and Veg from the supermarket? Yuck! Grow as much of your own as you can ( no pesticides) or buy from Farmer's Markets where you meet the grower and can ask them pertinent questions. Buy bread from a bakery Buy meat from a butcher Buy fish from a fishmonger. Supermarkets are purely for dry goods and cleaning products. Supermarket Food? No. Fkn. Way!
@Tri Arb I always purchase organic products. I buy a lot of produce from Amish here in my area, and my visits to the local grocer is limited to non food items.
Very well presented. My mother lived to 92 and was incredibly mentally sharp, even though she was debilitated from falls and later macular degeneration making her blind. She walked 3-5 kilometres every day after breakfast until she was nearly 90, ate a perfectly balanced, nutritious diet and was always impeccably dressed. Diet, daily exercise and good humour even through tragedy kept her young. Plus good genes. This philosophy of hers aligns with much of what you’ve stated. Thank you.
My mother made it almost to 93 years, with moderate exercise, and diet, and related reading, along with other cognitive activity, and yes, good humor. I like the dietary aspect of this video.
I worked in homecare abd seen those dementia elders.. I pity them, and imagine my self in their horrible situation, hope they can prevent this unwanted disease..
Thank you so much for that Dr. Carlos, I needed to hear these. My dear mother is 78 year's old and has dementia, as expected she is super forgetful now, and repeat's things but she is healthy, we as in my brother and I as well as my 19 year old grandson. We surround her with only happiness, cheerfulness and love she did or once in a while goes through hallucination's but with prayer and support she come's out of it, I don't judge her but instead I let her know I believe her and that I'm here for her and will help her through it and I try my best, I love her so much, she took care of me my whole life and I don't mean money wise, I mean in everyway a mother could be there for her child, that was her, so now I am repaying that by being there for her, i make her laugh every chance I get. Again thank you for this
You are doing a fantastic work with your mother❤ Amazing to read what you explain. Powerful connections with love care and respect. I found a fantastic video on RUclips that i strongly recommend you to watch. It is called: Alzheimers and dementia/60 minutes Full episode. It is a new and totally revolutionary study and science breakthrough on Alzheimers. Kindly regards from Johnny B❤
It all start from depression, stress and anxiety, which everyone ignores, if you see the signs in your elders.. Do some action abd give them more understanding, love, attention and medical needs..
these are absolutely not true at all. It's from external factors like alcohol, dru*s, diseases, poor food, black mold within the house, poor air quality, etc. It's not from being "lonely" or "stressed". Stop promoting garbage you have absolutely no scientific facts about. If anything, the things i listed have the things you listed as symptoms.
My mum's passed away due to mini stroke,+ dementia. It's horrible sickness to have not only to the patient but their family who take care of them as well.
My parents also grew up literally surrounded by corn fields, with a well. My mom eventually was found to have high levels of heavy metals in her blood, and my dad developed Alzheimer’s which killed him in 2 years from onset. Toxic chemicals are killing us
My grandpa lived to be 96 years old. Never had dementia orbany memory problems. My grandma was 92 n died before him she also could tell me a story that I remember being 5 yr at 92 . No memory issues . I hope for the same !
Everyone in my mom's immediate family had it. They lived in the city limits. My dad grew up on a farm and he is 85 and is still doing really well with no dementia.
Pure luck. Often times there are so many chemicals being sprayed on farmland that those people die from cancers. If only the answer to dementias were that easy.
Unless you be there and had a family member with DEMENTIA you can not comment. They in the end forget everything and can become violent in their behaviour. Thats why they go into care homes. The family can not cope anymore. SO DON'T JUDGE anyone unless you be there yourself.
I was my grandma’s caregiver for years, she had vascular dementia. I’m 41 years old and have never seen her angry, upset or anything other than just being in the presence of an angel. She was starting to refuse food and my uncle was trying to make her eat, so he took her bear (she didn’t do anything without it) and sit it on the chair on the side of her and let her know she could have it back after she ate. I tried it once and she didn’t say anything, but her silence and the way she avoided eye contact was just the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced and I could never do it again. The day she passed, I held her hand and promised I would not leave her side and it was the worst thing I’ve ever had to deal with. She was totally fine and smiling and suddenly she was acting differently and I don’t think I will ever understand what happened, but she just went from being her normal self to a body temperature of 92, no blood pressure cuff was working to get a reading and I couldn’t even get her blood oxygen level. She had zero strength and skin color was changing. Called 911 and they were sure that she had a vegal reaction or something like that. But this started at 7am and lasted until noon. I was able to warm her up to 95 degrees, so I was able to get her oxygen level, which was 79. Her blood pressure was 191/160 blood sugar was over 300 and she was not diabetic and had not had any food. The medics told us to give her albuteral before cleaning her and left. By the time she was in the bathroom, I knew that she was in grave danger and that’s when I promised not to leave her side. I noticed that her speech was not normal, her temperature was dropping again and I yelled for my aunt to get help and when they got there, she looked at me and said “You are the best one” and her eyes rolled back. They put her on the stretcher and rushed her to the ambulance and started CPR. They tried for 45 minutes before rushing her to the hospital to call it. I have never been the same since. I imagine she is reunited with her parents and my grandpa and it’s the only peace I have aside from my belief in heaven. She left me in May of this year. As for memory, she only knew my name. She had no idea I was her granddaughter, she had no memory of her own children, husband, parents or siblings. I was a new person to her and she knew I would be there with her every single day and I would ask her daily if she knew my name. It was so hard and traumatic, but the best years of my life. I am grateful to have been there with her, but I am struggling with finding my purpose now
@@ThisIsMyRUclipsName1 So very sorry for your loss - i lost my grandmother in 1990 & still miss her terribly - I wasn’t able to be with her at the end, so please find comfort that you were there till the very end for her - I lived in a different state & my mother didn’t tell me how close my grandmother was getting - I still feel guilty that I wasn’t there - you did the best you could & obviously loved her very much - we all leave this earth one day so you must just hang on to the memories & love the two of you shared - I will say a prayer for peace & acceptance for you 🙏
I totally agree, my mom is 92 years old, has dementia, she was very hostile at one stage of her sickness. She doesn't even know me, she's now calm, has absolutely no motor skills. She's now become our baby. It's a labor of love which is very challenging. My two sisters and I take care of her with love and tenderness. Hat's off to every caregiver! You're phenomenal! It's not an easy job!!!❤❤
Not all dementia patients become aggressive. My mother and her sister are calm and both have dementia. My auntie is especially calm. Always has a smile on her face even when being uncooperative. When it's my turn, I wish to be like her.
Dr, I have watched so many different doctors, videos, TED Talks etc over many years, as my father had altzheimers and my sister now has symptoms and you are the very first who has summarized everything so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this informative video. If anyone stumbles upon you and is searching for information, they need look no further!! 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video! I've read so much on Alzheimer’s and Dementia due to many members of my family getting it, both early and late. I really appreciate this comprehensive video as a change from reading!! I also love DR. BERG and his videos. SO much well-presented. detailed information on everything dealing with body systems and health!!!
I recently listened to a doctor who is also a researcher at UCLA who has studied Dementia and Alzheimer’s for over a decade. She along with her team studied and researched and developed MAGTEIN. This Magnesium supplement is superior in elevating brain magnesium, which supports memory improvement, stress reduction and overall brain health. This magnesium breaks through the blood brain barrier and increases cognitive function overtime. A significant increase was seen in the study from 6 to 12 weeks.
I've had loved one's all around me, pass with Dementia. All led healthy respeatable lives. I've worked in a secure lock up unit and it was a very rewarding experience. They came from all walks of life, loving Adults with beautiful families. Some lasted many years and some within 4-6 months of being diagnosed. Who knows!!! All I know is you need to do what you 'want' to do while you can. Enjoy life and be happy and content Always😊😇💞
It is a mystery to me. I have had my Mom, Gramma and mom sister all pass with dementia. All three were healthy and grew many of their own vegetables. Something just seemed to happen once their 80s came around All skinny, walked, and ate well. Mom was busy doing volunteer work most of the week and out socializing constantly. Old age took them down the path of dementia. It is a horrible illness. You are right we have to enjoy and live life each day. We just never know.
Best video of alll the videos on Dementia/Alzheimers I’ve seen and have been in the medical field for 56 years. I pray EVERYONE in the world listens up to this advice as it’s not going away but only increase. 😢
My step-dad died in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and it frightened my mom so much to see him deteriorating. She worked very hard to stay healthy - ate a balanced diet shown in the video, took an OTC pain pill, fish oil and CQ10 everyday. No prescription meds. She died at 94 without any loss of her mind or memory.
@@readitoutloud I am not advertising for them but she took one Aleve, 100 mg of CQ10, and OTC fish oil. Also, she drank about 2 ounces of beet juice everyday - just from the canned beets and ate a few beets. Beets are great for staving off strokes.
Thank you Dr. Carlos for explaining this complex issue plainly for those of us not educated in medical language and medical matters! Keep up the good work.
My mum never drank or smoked. She cooked healthy home meals with lots of home grown leafy green veg and fruit, lots of salads, lots of fish. She walked every day, did crossword puzzles liked to learn languages, go to art classes and yoga. She ran committees at the local church and arranged excursions. She had a lovely group of friends and laughed a lot. She got Alzheimer's anyway. I'm going out disgracefully.
Yes, same with a dear aunt of mine. Se just not did all the things they say to do to proactively help ward off Alzheimer’s. She died from it anyway. Such a tragedy. I don’t think it matters but it is smart to live healthy to prolong your life because you hopefully won’t get dementia.
For many decades, I followed what I thought was healthy, I fed my kids low-fat proteins, conventional produce (fruit, vegetables), and packaged cereals, bread and grains. It turns out that was NOT conducive to anyone's health, no blame for ignorance, except for the food industry which placed their profits over the health considerations of the public, and so-called "health agencies" which instructed wrong eating through the medical community, schools, and media. Spinach, greens, grains, refined seed oils, and processed foods should be eliminated, they contribute to inflammation, autoimmunity and metabolic disturbances. I hope I can correct my failed conception of a healthy diet in time to remedy my own health, and become an adequate coach in order to assist others.
I’m convinced a lot of it has to do with undiagnosed occult B12 deficiency (& B1 deficiency may be involved too). It is known that B12 deficiency can trigger cognitive & memory issues, paranoia, & dementias if left long enough. Metformin, the common drug for diabetes interferes with B12 uptake & can contribute to deficiency. The big issue with B12 is that most doctors only rely on very misleading serum blood tests which do not show what is going on at cellular level nor do they determine how much of the serum B12 is active or inactive. B12 deficiency & B1 (Thiamine) deficiencies are rampant - even in young people & children. One doctor found that 70% of his patients were B12 deficient, even in those who ate meat! So much of the B12 (& B1) deficiency gets missed or dismissed. It’s very sad. Cellular dehydration may be involved too. Many people never drink water. Most of our modern drinks - tea, coffee, sugary drinks, additive-rich drinks, alcohol, etc are all dehydrating as they force the body to use more water to process them than they supply. So too does the highly refined & processed wheat & sugar-laden ‘Carbage’. And rehydration isn’t just about water. It’s also about getting enough of all the minerals - electrolytes - too, to enable the body to utilise the water it gets at cellular level. The best way to get those is from natural unrefined grey sea salt (see Darko Velcek on here).
This is particularly interesting to me because I have been on a B-complex regimen since my 20s. I was told that B's are particularly good for the nervous system in general and that they might help with my anxiety. And they have, significantly. I was grateful for it as a panic-attack sufferer, and I'm just about as grateful now, entering the hormonal minefield that is menopause. 😑 B's work best when taken as the collective, though of course there's nothing wrong with a B12 or niacin supplement. But I find a lot of 'B-complex' vitamins leave out the B1, Thiamin. Certainly a lot of regular multi-vitamins do! And you are absolutely right about water. Dehydration leads to so many issues, not least of which is kidney damage/failure. I rarely drink anything but water, but even so I wasn't getting enough; 3-4 liters is about right, and I wasn't getting half that, most days. Water really is just as much our fuel as carbs, protein and sugars are. @MilliePat And allergy meds. Antihistamines can also have a diuretic effect, because it's their function to 'dry you up'. They wring a lot of water out to clear the head!
I give b12 injections to myself due to a family history of pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, and a gastric bypass surgery 35 years ago. My doctor tests my blood (totally unreliable when taking injections) and has ordered me to stop taking it due to lab value being high (I had had 2 injections within 5 days of the blood test). Not only do I disagree with this wet behind the ears doctor, I added b1 over a week ago and 90% of the fatigue and muscle pain I have been having for 6 months has disappeared. I have been taking b12 for 15 years and now she says it is causing fatigue and muscle pain??? Yeah right. If they make b12 a prescription med like in the US, I am screwed, because my doctor refuses to order it for me despite my symptoms and risk factors.
My 96 year old mom and I just placed my 67 year old brother in a adult family home because he's been diagnosed with dementia and fatty liver disease and his significant other could not take care of him anymore. He was diagnosed in his 40s with diabetes but never took it seriously with his a1c in the 12 range. He drank sugar pop etc. Its sad
@@TJ-pq8jr When they don't listen to you it's painful to watch. My son has taken a liking to energy drinks recently, packed with sugar and chemicals of course. When he was a baby, I didn't want him to end up with bad teeth like mine, so I didn't give him sugary foods (even though I ate them to excess myself, usually in secret). Over the years, my habits have come to his attention and I blame myself for being a sloppy influence. I tell him over and over again - stop with the energy drinks. I tried to tell him on the point of excess caffeine, sugar and his still-perfect teeth, weight gain (a little, just recently), his anxiety problems (yes, he has those too. He knows caffeine heightens anxiety and still drinks that rubbish). I even offered to buy him his week's worth of handy drinks with our usual groceries (choosing flavoured spring water). He's drinking those - 'and' buying energy drinks with his own money. A truly horrifying video on the health cost of energy and soda drinks is something I'm going to have to look for and share (newly subscribed, so maybe there's one on this channel).
@@debbiehenri345 I’ve been where where you are with a family member and close friend…. Caffeine and sugar are drugs and addictive. There is nothing we can do for an addicted person who won’t help themselves! My best advice is to be an example…live your best life…. Maybe they’ll see you and join….. I’ve come to accept that we each add or subtract to our …what ive come to call … our personal expiration date…. Be content to know you’ve done what you can…. We can’t live someone else’s life for them! ❤
High blood sugar in blood constantly will destroy the whole body especially the brain. The brain cells die. Taking insulin slows this process down but does not stop it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful information! So well explained. I see my PX next week and will ask for this test. My Mom passed 2 years ago with Dementia/Alzheimer’s. The Dr never explained any of this to us. I’ve been experiencing short term memory loss and want to do what I can to protect myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You’re truly making a difference in so many lives.❤
Thank you. This is the clearest video on the subject I've seen. My mum got early-onset dementia in her late fifties and just died last year at 76. It's a horrible disease and I'm doing my best to avoid it, but im not doing enough and need to push myself more.
Dr Carlos.. you are one of the rare Dr's who advocate eating a balanced diet of everything..it's so good to hear this as many Dr's only advise avoiding sugar some say carbs..some fats..oils and the list goes on...
My mom passed away at 67yrs in December 2022 from FTD, it was so painful seeing her in that condition and deteriorating day by day, She was a strong powerful women with a huge heart,the most amazing thing is that her brain shrunk to a pea size Dr's were amazed that she still could move a speak,recognize and move , up until she passed she recognized us,only the last two days before passing she had lost her speech completely.My daughter and I had the privilege of holding her while she slowly slip away into heaven.
This is crazy. Last week, I had an MRI and memory test. Because my memory is not good at this point. My mother got dementia when she was 79. She's 84 now. I have been forgetting confused lately. Texting at times is hard for me. I'm only 57, and I'm worried. I see my doctor on Monday. It's a scary feeling. Subscribed & liked. Also, my impulse control isn't there anymore.
I have anxiety problem but not in meditation. Every time I made doctor appointments, I d get pain on the area, eye exam - pain around me eyes, dental exam- tooth ache, mammogram- pain on my chest and higher back… I didn’t do anything differently and all I could connect the dots was the Dr Apptm caused my anxiety!! But the pain was REAL, not imaginary… once I figured it, the pain has gone one by one. Subconscious stress is very very damaging …
@recuerdos2457 , a very close friend of mine. She had surgery last week. My anxiety was so bad. My BP went up because I was so worried. 200/110. My BP finally went down around this past Tuesday. But, my memory loss started about a year and a half ago. It's just getting worse. Not to mention, I received a call from my Gasteologist doctor with alil concerning results from my blood work. It's easier said than done. When everything just keeps coming. I'm just worried about my cat, Janis. Lol.
Thank You Dr Carlos for sharing good advice about our health. Everybody else has their hand out and wants to get paid for their advice. That just makes you a cut above all of them. Speaking on behalf of everyone on here, including myself. Thank you so very much you’re a kind hearted n caring man that truly cares about spreading the word knowing that your advice will help us live longer and healthier lives. ❤❤
My great grandmother and grandfather had Alzheimers. It's a horrible condition. Seeing them deteriorate and forgetting their own names was the saddest thing. My grandfather went from an active, quick witted man, who loved racing cars and baseball to playing games like a pre schooler.
😢 I went through the same with my Father. 11 children & I was the only one who took care of him. It will forever sicken and PAIN me in every way. I'm so sorry 🙏 ♥.
Thank you for the information Dr. I’ve been a career Paramedic/Firefighter for 21 years in the Northern Virginia, USA area. I’m now 54 years old and I can actually tell my memory is becoming an issue. As you can imagine I deal with high amounts of stress and my career makes having a normal sleeping pattern impossible. I do try and eat/exercise regularly . I love my career but unfortunately I fear it is slowly killing me.
High stress levels, including the continuous lack of a good nights sleep is definitely detrimental to ones health and general well-being. Do yourself a favour and change your vocation in your life. You have already acknowledged the fact that your stress levels and your poor sleep quality has you thinking that this situation is, in fact detrimental to your mental and physical health. Only you, have the power to change your, dare l say, unfortunate and unhealthy work situation. I'm sure you already know, deep down within you, what you must, inevitably do, for the betterment of your overall health. The decision is yours, go for it, you have a lot to gain, if you do. No job is worth health and well-being. All the best for the future. 👍👍
Bruce Simpson. My heart goes out to you. I profusely thank you for ur frontline service. I’ve read many testimonies from firefighters and EMTS . The PTSD IS ENORMOUS. Some of these first responders are doing EMDR therapy which they say is helping them tremendously. Pls look into it. I’m sure ur probably already looking into retirement also. Also alcohol exacerbates ur inflammation due to mycotoxins in alcoholic drinks especially beer. Hope this helps you somewhat. Also I take melatonin for sleep. It never worked when I was younger but works now for whatever reason. Ty again for ur incredible service. Get well. Ur certainly doing a smart thing by listening to Dr Carlos here.
@@laraoneal7284 You are right. Our bodies naturally produce melatonin when we are young and we don’t make enough later on in life. Thus the supplements really help a lot of people
Oh Lord. I am so sorry. I worked in a high stress/toxic environment. My mother suffered from vascular dementia. I have memory problems. I had to leave work because I could physically no longer perform my duties. I could retire. Glad I'm out of that stressful environment. It seems like you may be able to retire & get a job not as stressful 🤷 I highly recommend it for you. Please, for yourself & those who love you so much, check into this for your well being. Thank you for being there for others for all these years. But you also need to be there for your own self. God Bless you in all you do. 🙏
A childhood friend of mine died of Primary Progressive Aphasia. She was diagnosed at 46 and died at 49. This wiped them out financially too. This was just absolutely heartbreaking to witness and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
What was your friends first symptom of primary progressive aphasia ? and what variant did she have ? I think my husband may have this and it's so upsetting to me. He just retired this year after 48 years of hard work 6 days a week never having a vacation . What a sin if he's gonna be hit with this now when he's so happy and wanting to travel.
@kg5521 I wasn't there during all this. She lived in TX and I'm in the Northwest. Bit her husband said that it started when she went back to school to get her degree for her job. He came home and one of her textbooks was filled with Post-It notes. Bit by bit she was having more and more trouble finding words to express herself. Idk what kind of variation she had. This literally wiped them out financially before she died. I am so sorry about your poor husband.
My husband was dx with FTD, Frontotemporal dementia, when he was active duty Air Force, at age 45. His parents didn’t have FTD. His dad passed away at late 80’s of pneumonia. His Mom still alive and will be 97 this month, walking, talking and mostly independent. My husband FTD did raced rather quickly. He is now 61, and in a full care facility. He is the youngest still at the facility now 9 yrs. Just saw this as it came up on my feed.
I wonder about any vaccines they gave your husband in the Air Force that were experimental? Could be something like that caused his. It's such a sad disease.
@@stepoff1277 You know, I thought as much. There was one set of vaccines he took and his area got so nasty infected. Which was so odd. He has to get treated for that. So ?? I know many rec’d them, but it affects differently to some.
Don't rule out contaminated bases and duty stations. We were stationed at a few and my husband's father was stationed in camp Le juene when he was a child.. Much Love to you and your husband and family.. 💕
My Mother had dementia. It was awful. So this scares me. You presented the best information of any of the other videosI have watched about dementia. And it was done in about 18 minutes. I feel better knowing that there are some things I can do to prevent it. Thank You
Good info . If you don't make time for wellness, you will be forced to make time for illness . It would have been nice if you could have explained what INFLAMATION actually is, it certainly was mentioned a hell of a lot.
This one video made more sense and had a more positive impact on my understanding of dementia than all the advice I got from Hospice Caregivers who advised me during the 12 years I cared for my mother who had Alzheimers. THANK YOU! I feel better prepared to do what I must to ensure my own best possible life. Subscribing right now. Thank you, Dr. Carlos! With love from Atlanta.
Ok i just cross the bridge when i get there. There’s no way of knowing whether i will get it or not but i will keep exercising and watching what i eat to stay healthy for as long as possible 🤞
This is a very good talk. My dad lived until age 93 but vascular dementia took hold several years prior. Thank you for giving a concise talk about how we can harness our health to better avoid this condition that robs us of enjoying our later years.
Until such time as stem cell treatments are routinely covered under Medicare and private insurance, I'm afraid we'll not see dementia being aggressively addressed in the clinical setting.
@@CindyMcKitrick-vp9rg Hi Cindy, I had stem cells injected into my spine 3 months ago. a remarkable modality! I went to RMI in costa rica. But,listen... Dreambody clinic in puerta vallarta deals with dementia. I can only strongly encourage you to go to their website. The usa is lagging behind in a major way. Josh,the american who opened the clinic makes his own daughter cells right there at the clinic. The fda here will only allow mother cells from the umbilical cord. This is the problem. Freeze and transport is not a good method as so many die. Waiting for clinical trials is fruitless. Here in the States what you get is really who knows, maybe hgh and vit b12. There they count the cells by a machine called a flow cyclometer that prooves a 98% viability. And they are warm and ready to go. My wife is showing signs and I am taking her there. As I am 66 years old I understand that my body does not produce enough stem cells. Straight up...I have given you a direction to heal.
Im a 72 year male diagnosed with Parkinsonism ( not Parkinsons Disease ). I regularly chew nicorette....which is held to check dementia. Though I have fatigue issues my mind is probably sharper and memory better than most people I meet including those much younger.
Truly informative. I have a life long friend that I noticed seemingly somewhat confused. Her table was strewn with paperwork and sending out bills. I noticed she was filling out deposit slips. I mentioned it and suggested she uses her checks to do that. She didn't take it well. Then she mentioned her nephew which I know there in their early 40's so I asked he if she meant her Grandson. "Yes, why, what did I say?" This all happened within 6 months. I live in Florida 6 months and back to our stomping grounds. 3rd year back and seems very severe. Her husband and children are quite aware but but can't afford a nice place for her. On and on it goes and is so painful.
Excellent information. My mother passed from Alzheimer’s in 2018. I’m 60 and it’s always in my mind that i could have Alzheimer’s, I exercise daily and try to eat clear but I still struggle with inflammation.
This need to be shared all over the White House I am sick of presidents, senators, representatives having dementia or Alzheimer's. The whole white house is full of this medical conditions. Please give it to our leaders they need it.
I have 100% of the symptoms you cover here. My Rheumatologist, Cardiologist, 2 Neurologists (cat scans) and Family doctor plus a ton of tests all agree I'm just getting old. No Dementia.
Thank you Carlos for such clear and concise information on this. I am grateful that over a year now I have been focusing on my diet, reducing inflammation in my body.. My dad has dementia and this video has made things more clear.
Beautifully presented video. The information here is clear and to the point. Thank you Doctor Carlos for sharing all this important information with us. Dementia is a hugely important subject in our lives that we should all understand and take seriously because it will affect most of us during our lives. thank you again,
Very glad that this video showed up randomly (I don't believe in "coincidence".) My mother developed Alzh, in her 50's (before she was simply psychotic when it came to me, she made me know from early childhood that she wanted nothing to do with me, feeling was mutual.) She finally died in a nursing home, in her 90's. About two month ago I was talking to my brother (3 years younger than me) and I told my daughter that I thought he had early signs of the condition. He's 73. (He lives in Puerto Rico, I live in Minnesota.) A few days ago my daughter talked to my brother on the phone and agreed with me. I am very healthy, haven't needed a doctor since 1999, but lately I'm getting forgetful in terms of simple spoken or written terms. You can bet that I intend to take notes, because the is the very last thing I want is to end like my mother. My number one most important for me is my intelligence. Alz, is scary to say the least.
@@Romans15.32 She's dead, so I did. She had very little to do with me from birth so I got used to it. At least my father was there (when he was not fighting in some war). I was very lucky because I was quite intelligent, so I used to spend a lot of time reading. I was reading adult literature by the time I was 6, in my own little world. I can be friendly, but I was and still am a loner. I was into all kinds of causes for much of my life. You don't really miss what you never had.
Dr Carlos, first video I’ve watched on this subject matter that I completely agree with. Outstanding explanation, and I’m not one to be easily convinced. But the logic behind the explanation of the disease was clearly backed by scientific evidence, in my opinion. I am a big believer in the food - health connection also. Which is what many folks fail to see, the correlation between their illnesses, and the garbage they eat. I’m subscribing.
This is great information. Thank you! There is a reason America is well known for having starving citizens that are obese. It seems the amount of sugar, preservatives and hormones in our food are making us all pre diabetic and affecting our health as well as shutting down many of our reproductive systems. Insulin resistance is a real thing. Also you can eat very little and be full most of the day if your food is healthy and full of nutrients. I have experienced this first hand. I hate telling this story, but it needs to be shared. I was raised on boxed foods by young parents who didn’t know how to cook. My diet was what was on tv commercials and as I got older fast food more and more. Well, my reproductive system began to attack itself and the pain was unreal. My doctors did so many surgeries and took out one of my ovaries in a span of ten years. At 27 I was so sick that I had to have a hysterectomy in order not to have a period 24 days of every month. I was in so much pain and my estrogen was out of control high! Though I tried, I am now 32 and have no children. I wanted a family more than anything. I consider my government and the poisons they allow in food and medicines the cause for my sterilization now. I am angry, hurt and feel absolutely betrayed by my government in America. We used to be the home of the brave. Now they want to kill us in masses. Is this really different than the Nazis in WW2? Eat healthy, buy organic and so it becomes highly demanded and prices will become more reasonable. Teach your children to cook basics so they can have a basic understanding of how to prepare their own healthy food. Get full vitamins in real food and learn to cook. It’s pretty easy, actually. The future generations are the next targets. Think for yourselves! Don’t let the government treat you like worthless stock. Please don’t wait until you suffer a loss as great as I have. It will haunt you the rest of you life, I promise. The world is better than this, we just have to see it. ❤
Fantastic information, Doc Carlos! I listen to all your videos in Spanish, and never knew you spoke English so elequently. Please continue to provide us with more of your invaluable knowledge and recommendations. Thank you!
My mother passed away in 2021, she had FTD (the type of dementia that Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with) she wasn’t diagnosed until about a year before she passed away. They were treating her for anxiety and assumed it was an onset of Alzheimer’s. She was physically healthy when FTD symptoms first started. 5 years later, she was wheelchair bound, unable to speak or understand being spoken to, and passed away. I didn’t know what FTD was before this, now I’m seeing that this type of dementia is absolutely very specific symptoms shared among all that have it.
A simple formula to beat dementia: Be active in all your wakeful hours. 1. Do exercises befitting your age n health for atleast half an hour everyday morning. 2. Read news n stories that you enjoy. 3. Spend time with your friends. 4. Eat light food that you enjoy eating.

Wow Thank you Dr Jaramillo for your videos in English, the explanation of this topic was so much needed, you gave us valuable information, you are now my favorite to watch in English!❤
My Mom just passed this last April from a very rapid case of what was diagnosed as Lewy Body dementia. She was 87 and extremely active and independent (driving/president of two craft organizations, did extremely complex hand work/art, and managed a house and farm). In the space of 4 months, she progressed from first symptoms to death. Do you have any videos on this type of dementia? I understand that Robin Williams suffered from this type of disease. Thanks for any insight.
Thank you for the very clear explanation, Dr. Carlos. My Mother died in 2022 at the age of 92 after suffering from Dementia for more than 10 years. It was tough for us her 5 children. It was devastating to watch her spiralling down in cognition, in memory, in social ability. 3 of us her children are positive when tested with Thalassemia Alfa Minor. It may be 'minor' but the broken red blood cells are really affecting how our body function. I am now 60, been eating healthy actually since 1997 but still did some cheating sometimes here and there, I am now determined to be more strict in aboiding foods that can cause inflammation, integrating more healthy fats in my diet (so far I do this only 2-4 times per week), as I am aware that I am experiencing some memory loss here and there now. But you were right. The last three years I have been having deep stress after I found out my daughter was victim of an abusive marriage. Now after three years she is starting to get out of her depression, things also improved on my side. The stress affected me considerably. But I will follow your recommendations from now on. Thanks again!
My brother died at 69 of Pick’s Disease (frontotemporal dementia). It was heart breaking watching him decline. He loved his sweets but his type II diabetes was well controlled. . No one else in our family including our parents or grandparents had dementia. I am on a keto diet attempting to keep carbs less than 20 Grams a day. I pray this will prevent diabetes and dementia. I know my inflammation has improved.
My brother died of Picks disease as well.He started showing signs around age 65 and went downhill really quickly but lived around ten years.Awful disease.

My dad is in his 90's. No dementia. He lives alone, and still drives during the day.
He also does yard work, reads, repairs things around the houses, frequently socializes with younger friends, and is active in the community.
I think those things help as well.
Keeping the brain and body active is definitely helpful.
You bet‼️
My Uncles are 101 & 89 No signs of Dementia. My Great Grandmother & Grandmother lived to be 97 & 94. GG Died in her sleep, Nona contracted hepatitis, NO DEMENTIA, They remembered everything in their lives.
Did he ever take a statin for cholesterol?
If he has never had it… Good. Very Good.
@@caroleann_2142 That is a blessing, wishing you a healthy long life!!! ☺
2 summers ago the doctor said I had early dementia. Recommeded I get all my finances in order bc one day my memory will be gone.
Ok, I stopped all drinking alcohol, junk food, sleeping late. I eat more healthy foods, fruits, veg, water. Little soda. No juice. No alcohol. I walk, read, do puzzle books everyday, . Sit in the sunshine. And learning American Sign Language on RUclips. I don't think I have it. 2 summers ago was my doctor diagnosis, mri result, whatever.
I feel perfectly fine. My head is clear.
My thinking...don't drink alcohol, that will literally kill brain cells. Feed your brain with oxygen, good thoughts, make it work,exercise with book, puzzle, walk in nature, and good food. Supplement. Obviously don't drink. Good health everyone.❤❤❤😊😊😊
Guess what you still die😮
@markmiller2263 you too Mark. We all do. Soon or later
Family member was not high risk. Lived in the Midwest near the heavily sprayed corn fields. Our food system including the way it’s grown, is making us sick.
Everytime I buy vegetables, it says they were grown in another country. Not the US.
Drugs as well.
Sugar
EXACTLY as well as statins, and many other meds.
@@mmmsunshine5367 BIG TIME
Its really important to make videos and pictures of your loved ones while the disease is still dormant because its such a devastating eraser of their unique personality and health in the long term that you sometimes forget what they were like before they were engulfed by its tentacles. Those videos and pictures will remind you of how strong, kind, and loving they once were and why you should not give up on them, ever.
Wish I had come across this message earlier.
My family took videos best thing ever
My heart goes out to those caring for their loved ones and may you be Supported as well during this most challenging time in your lives. Love Bruce and his family sharing this to help discover by education.
I work in a nursing home and see this all the time. It's a devastating disease. Thank you Dr Carlos for clarifying this. It's so sad to see people suffering from this.
😢
Does drinking any small or large or any Alcohol. Any links ...glad. I don't drink Alcohol. It probably plays A part.
It's heart rendering situation when You know someone who has it it's not just a sad situation. A vibrant feisty personality turn quiet.
Thank you for what you do. My daughter has worked in those kind of nursing homes as well as a nurse. It takes a toll on any person that is around folks who have this crippling illness and my daughter loved her patients so it was really hard on her. God bless you honey for being there for those who can’t help themselves any longer and they are the ones who need you the most. ❤
@@patriotgrammy8632 It's not just a crippling Illness it's a heart wrenching situation to see a loved one go, from having a vibrant and outgoing personality. To dying a slow death. I'm a Chha and have a relative who has it.
I often see families ,shopping in the grocery stores, their carts overflowing with processed food, rich in sugar, carbs, and soda pop. I have to strain my eyes to see vegetables, meat, raw and unprocessed staples and such. I am thankful that I grew up in a family that emphasized vegetables, meats, and real food. Desserts were a rare treat, and no one craved sugar. I am nearly 72 and haven't needed medical attention up until this day.
True. I remember being at the register ready to pay for my groceries. The cashier says to me, “you don’t have any junk food. Not one item is junk. Do you always eat like this (healthy)?”
Another cashier would always call me Mr Organic.
I sort of got ridiculed for buying healthy food.
Just be careful driving home today Cuz the roads are a rat race. Just take the long way home. And drive carefully.
Soda will eat your bones. Cancer thrives on Sugar !!!!
Who buys Fruit and Veg from the supermarket? Yuck! Grow as much of your own as you can ( no pesticides) or buy from Farmer's Markets where you meet the grower and can ask them pertinent questions.
Buy bread from a bakery
Buy meat from a butcher
Buy fish from a fishmonger.
Supermarkets are purely for dry goods and cleaning products. Supermarket Food?
No. Fkn. Way!
@Tri Arb I always purchase organic products. I buy a lot of produce from Amish here in my area, and my visits to the local grocer is limited to non food items.
I think one of the biggest contributing factors is the amount of processed food in our society today.
Agreeee
Exactly 😊
Very well presented. My mother lived to 92 and was incredibly mentally sharp, even though she was debilitated from falls and later macular degeneration making her blind. She walked 3-5 kilometres every day after breakfast until she was nearly 90, ate a perfectly balanced, nutritious diet and was always impeccably dressed. Diet, daily exercise and good humour even through tragedy kept her young. Plus good genes. This philosophy of hers aligns with much of what you’ve stated. Thank you.
7⁷
stem cells. that is the answer
I have to agree with you Kevin
Good genes play a part. My aunt had things wrong with her that were supposed to shorten her life. She lived to 102. Positive outlook helps
My mother made it almost to 93 years, with moderate exercise, and diet, and related reading, along with other cognitive activity, and yes, good humor. I like the dietary aspect of this video.
I worked in homecare abd seen those dementia elders.. I pity them, and imagine my self in their horrible situation, hope they can prevent this unwanted disease..
Thank you so much for that Dr. Carlos, I needed to hear these. My dear mother is 78 year's old and has dementia, as expected she is super forgetful now, and repeat's things but she is healthy, we as in my brother and I as well as my 19 year old grandson. We surround her with only happiness, cheerfulness and love she did or once in a while goes through hallucination's but with prayer and support she come's out of it, I don't judge her but instead I let her know I believe her and that I'm here for her and will help her through it and I try my best, I love her so much, she took care of me my whole life and I don't mean money wise, I mean in everyway a mother could be there for her child, that was her, so now I am repaying that by being there for her, i make her laugh every chance I get. Again thank you for this
Oh bless your hearts ❤️ you & your family 💝 you're doing the right 👍 thing for your mother🤗 you're honouring her. ❤
You are doing a fantastic work with your mother❤ Amazing to read what you explain. Powerful connections with love care and respect. I found a fantastic video on RUclips that i strongly recommend you to watch. It is called: Alzheimers and dementia/60 minutes Full episode. It is a new and totally revolutionary study and science breakthrough on Alzheimers. Kindly regards from Johnny B❤
I am 64 and I have always had difficulties finding the right words!!
It all start from depression, stress and anxiety, which everyone ignores, if you see the signs in your elders.. Do some action abd give them more understanding, love, attention and medical needs..
Don’t forget loneliness !!
is the top contributor
these are absolutely not true at all. It's from external factors like alcohol, dru*s, diseases, poor food, black mold within the house, poor air quality, etc. It's not from being "lonely" or "stressed". Stop promoting garbage you have absolutely no scientific facts about. If anything, the things i listed have the things you listed as symptoms.
@@penepattra8983Bruce Willis didn’t suffer those mental health problems 😊
This is heartbreaking for the victim and the family and friends.
My mum's passed away due to mini stroke,+ dementia. It's horrible sickness to have not only to the patient but their family who take care of them as well.
Thank you for sharing
My parents also grew up literally surrounded by corn fields, with a well. My mom eventually was found to have high levels of heavy metals in her blood, and my dad developed Alzheimer’s which killed him in 2 years from onset. Toxic chemicals are killing us
What water can be trusted anymore ? Rainwater is very toxic and city water has who knows what ..
Did she go for the cant benive it’s not butter ? What did they consume ?
They had a healthy diet. They got a whole house water filter and her heavy metals went down
You are definitely correct.Thank you for the info.✌️
@@InPinkClover Are you talking about metals, air, process foods, etcc?
My grandpa lived to be 96 years old. Never had dementia orbany memory problems. My grandma was 92 n died before him she also could tell me a story that I remember being 5 yr at 92 . No memory issues . I hope for the same !
Did these 2 who lived into their 90s drin on alcohol - hearing different answer.
Breaks my heart to think what my mum must've gone through trying to hide her condition.💕💔🥀🙏🏻
I understand completely. My mom starved herself in a home deliberately. She hated what she had lost...her mind. Didn't know know me for the last 7 yrs
😢😢 it's so heartbreaking...can't even imagine how hard this must be for both parts, the patient and the famy member ...so sorry for you all
Everyone in my mom's immediate family had it. They lived in the city limits. My dad grew up on a farm and he is 85 and is still doing really well with no dementia.
Interesting.The only ones with it in my family are the ones who live in rural areas! But then, anecdotal instances are not scientific proof.
Pure luck. Often times there are so many chemicals being sprayed on farmland that those people die from cancers. If only the answer to dementias were that easy.
@@oldytacct8095 Thank you. Sometimes I think people make sh** up.
Don’t forget that we farmers spray crop protection just for fun, like the media portrays us

Unless you be there and had a family member with DEMENTIA you can not comment. They in the end forget everything and can become violent in their behaviour. Thats why they go into care homes. The family can not cope anymore. SO DON'T JUDGE anyone unless you be there yourself.
I was my grandma’s caregiver for years, she had vascular dementia. I’m 41 years old and have never seen her angry, upset or anything other than just being in the presence of an angel. She was starting to refuse food and my uncle was trying to make her eat, so he took her bear (she didn’t do anything without it) and sit it on the chair on the side of her and let her know she could have it back after she ate. I tried it once and she didn’t say anything, but her silence and the way she avoided eye contact was just the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced and I could never do it again. The day she passed, I held her hand and promised I would not leave her side and it was the worst thing I’ve ever had to deal with. She was totally fine and smiling and suddenly she was acting differently and I don’t think I will ever understand what happened, but she just went from being her normal self to a body temperature of 92, no blood pressure cuff was working to get a reading and I couldn’t even get her blood oxygen level. She had zero strength and skin color was changing. Called 911 and they were sure that she had a vegal reaction or something like that. But this started at 7am and lasted until noon. I was able to warm her up to 95 degrees, so I was able to get her oxygen level, which was 79. Her blood pressure was 191/160 blood sugar was over 300 and she was not diabetic and had not had any food. The medics told us to give her albuteral before cleaning her and left. By the time she was in the bathroom, I knew that she was in grave danger and that’s when I promised not to leave her side. I noticed that her speech was not normal, her temperature was dropping again and I yelled for my aunt to get help and when they got there, she looked at me and said “You are the best one” and her eyes rolled back. They put her on the stretcher and rushed her to the ambulance and started CPR. They tried for 45 minutes before rushing her to the hospital to call it. I have never been the same since. I imagine she is reunited with her parents and my grandpa and it’s the only peace I have aside from my belief in heaven. She left me in May of this year.
As for memory, she only knew my name. She had no idea I was her granddaughter, she had no memory of her own children, husband, parents or siblings. I was a new person to her and she knew I would be there with her every single day and I would ask her daily if she knew my name. It was so hard and traumatic, but the best years of my life. I am grateful to have been there with her, but I am struggling with finding my purpose now
@@ThisIsMyRUclipsName1 So very sorry for your loss - i lost my grandmother in 1990 & still miss her terribly - I wasn’t able to be with her at the end, so please find comfort that you were there till the very end for her - I lived in a different state & my mother didn’t tell me how close my grandmother was getting - I still feel guilty that I wasn’t there - you did the best you could & obviously loved her very much - we all leave this earth one day so you must just hang on to the memories & love the two of you shared - I will say a prayer for peace & acceptance for you 🙏
I totally agree, my mom is 92 years old, has dementia, she was very hostile at one stage of her sickness. She doesn't even know me, she's now calm, has absolutely no motor skills. She's now become our baby.
It's a labor of love which is very challenging.
My two sisters and I take care of her with love and tenderness.
Hat's off to every caregiver! You're phenomenal! It's not an easy job!!!❤❤
I lost my husband at 64 to Frontal Lobe Dementia. A really horrible disease.
Not all dementia patients become aggressive. My mother and her sister are calm and both have dementia. My auntie is especially calm. Always has a smile on her face even when being uncooperative. When it's my turn, I wish to be like her.
This is one of the very best descriptions of Dementia ever...GOD BLESS YOU.
Dr, I have watched so many different doctors, videos, TED Talks etc over many years, as my father had altzheimers and my sister now has symptoms and you are the very first who has summarized everything so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this informative video. If anyone stumbles upon you and is searching for information, they need look no further!! 🙏🙏🙏

"This POWERFUL Herb Will HEAL YOU & Let You LIVE LONGER!" | Anthony William & Jay Shetty
Excellent video! I've read so much on Alzheimer’s and Dementia due to many members of my family getting it, both early and late. I really appreciate this comprehensive video as a change from reading!! I also love DR. BERG and his videos. SO much well-presented. detailed information on everything dealing with body systems and health!!!
.well...stem cells are not mentioned. they work
I recently listened to a doctor who is also a researcher at UCLA who has studied Dementia and Alzheimer’s for over a decade. She along with her team studied and researched and developed MAGTEIN. This Magnesium supplement is superior in elevating brain magnesium, which supports memory improvement, stress reduction and overall brain health. This magnesium breaks through the blood brain barrier and increases cognitive function overtime. A significant increase was seen in the study from 6 to 12 weeks.
I've had loved one's all around me, pass with Dementia. All led healthy respeatable lives.
I've worked in a secure lock up unit and it was a very rewarding experience.
They came from all walks of life, loving Adults with beautiful families.
Some lasted many years and some within 4-6 months of being diagnosed.
Who knows!!!
All I know is you need to do what you 'want' to do while you can. Enjoy life and be happy and content Always😊😇💞
It is a mystery to me. I have had my Mom, Gramma and mom sister all pass with dementia. All three were healthy and grew many of their own vegetables. Something just seemed to happen once their 80s came around All skinny, walked, and ate well. Mom was busy doing volunteer work most of the week and out socializing constantly. Old age took them down the path of dementia. It is a horrible illness. You are right we have to enjoy and live life each day. We just never know.
Best video of alll the videos on Dementia/Alzheimers I’ve seen and have been in the medical field for 56 years. I pray EVERYONE in the world listens up to this advice as it’s not going away but only increase. 😢
That is wonderful. My dad died 99 still had his mind and could get around with a walker. So thankful
Pls everyone take care. eat healthy, live healthy, think healthy and be kind... bless everyone here! 💜
I have signs of dementia - 65 now and panicking! Also have very low platelets - I’m definitely unraveling! Thank you very informative!!!
One thing Mr Willis has going for him is a team of female family members who care and love him unconditional ❤️
And he has the money, which helps. The poor who get dementia, are a different story.
@sidstovell2177 absolutely!!
Yep, he's going to be well taken care of!!
I trust the ladies better than most men
....& money.
My step-dad died in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and it frightened my mom so much to see him deteriorating. She worked very hard to stay healthy - ate a balanced diet shown in the video, took an OTC pain pill, fish oil and CQ10 everyday. No prescription meds. She died at 94 without any loss of her mind or memory.
Aspirin?
@@readitoutloud I am not advertising for them but she took one Aleve, 100 mg of CQ10, and OTC fish oil. Also, she drank about 2 ounces of beet juice everyday - just from the canned beets and ate a few beets. Beets are great for staving off strokes.
Chelle, if only it were that easy. 😡😩🙄
@@Chelle778 Umm, yes you are advertising and tell us all, where did you get your medical license? Dr. Google, Dr. RUclips?
Thank you Dr. Carlos for explaining this complex issue plainly for those of us not educated in medical language and medical matters! Keep up the good work.
My mum never drank or smoked. She cooked healthy home meals with lots of home grown leafy green veg and fruit, lots of salads, lots of fish. She walked every day, did crossword puzzles liked to learn languages, go to art classes and yoga. She ran committees at the local church and arranged excursions. She had a lovely group of friends and laughed a lot.
She got Alzheimer's anyway.
I'm going out disgracefully.
I’m so sorry. ❤
Yes, same with a dear aunt of mine. Se just not did all the things they say to do to proactively help ward off Alzheimer’s. She died from it anyway. Such a tragedy. I don’t think it matters but it is smart to live healthy to prolong your life because you hopefully won’t get dementia.
How was her sugar intake? Carbs, potatoes, cakes, sweet drinks?
Did she take hormone replacement therapy?
For many decades, I followed what I thought was healthy, I fed my kids low-fat proteins, conventional produce (fruit, vegetables), and packaged cereals, bread and grains. It turns out that was NOT conducive to anyone's health, no blame for ignorance, except for the food industry which placed their profits over the health considerations of the public, and so-called "health agencies" which instructed wrong eating through the medical community, schools, and media. Spinach, greens, grains, refined seed oils, and processed foods should be eliminated, they contribute to inflammation, autoimmunity and metabolic disturbances. I hope I can correct my failed conception of a healthy diet in time to remedy my own health, and become an adequate coach in order to assist others.
I’m convinced a lot of it has to do with undiagnosed occult B12 deficiency (& B1 deficiency may be involved too). It is known that B12 deficiency can trigger cognitive & memory issues, paranoia, & dementias if left long enough. Metformin, the common drug for diabetes interferes with B12 uptake & can contribute to deficiency.
The big issue with B12 is that most doctors only rely on very misleading serum blood tests which do not show what is going on at cellular level nor do they determine how much of the serum B12 is active or inactive. B12 deficiency & B1 (Thiamine) deficiencies are rampant - even in young people & children. One doctor found that 70% of his patients were B12 deficient, even in those who ate meat! So much of the B12 (& B1) deficiency gets missed or dismissed. It’s very sad.
Cellular dehydration may be involved too. Many people never drink water. Most of our modern drinks - tea, coffee, sugary drinks, additive-rich drinks, alcohol, etc are all dehydrating as they force the body to use more water to process them than they supply. So too does the highly refined & processed wheat & sugar-laden ‘Carbage’. And rehydration isn’t just about water. It’s also about getting enough of all the minerals - electrolytes - too, to enable the body to utilise the water it gets at cellular level. The best way to get those is from natural unrefined grey sea salt (see Darko Velcek on here).
My grandma passed for dementia 82..I miss my her so much. Love you mom. I called my grandma mom too.
You forgot about the steroids prescribed which are diuretic drugs😉
This is particularly interesting to me because I have been on a B-complex regimen since my 20s. I was told that B's are particularly good for the nervous system in general and that they might help with my anxiety. And they have, significantly. I was grateful for it as a panic-attack sufferer, and I'm just about as grateful now, entering the hormonal minefield that is menopause. 😑 B's work best when taken as the collective, though of course there's nothing wrong with a B12 or niacin supplement. But I find a lot of 'B-complex' vitamins leave out the B1, Thiamin. Certainly a lot of regular multi-vitamins do!
And you are absolutely right about water. Dehydration leads to so many issues, not least of which is kidney damage/failure. I rarely drink anything but water, but even so I wasn't getting enough; 3-4 liters is about right, and I wasn't getting half that, most days. Water really is just as much our fuel as carbs, protein and sugars are.
@MilliePat And allergy meds. Antihistamines can also have a diuretic effect, because it's their function to 'dry you up'. They wring a lot of water out to clear the head!
I give b12 injections to myself due to a family history of pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, and a gastric bypass surgery 35 years ago. My doctor tests my blood (totally unreliable when taking injections) and has ordered me to stop taking it due to lab value being high (I had had 2 injections within 5 days of the blood test). Not only do I disagree with this wet behind the ears doctor, I added b1 over a week ago and 90% of the fatigue and muscle pain I have been having for 6 months has disappeared. I have been taking b12 for 15 years and now she says it is causing fatigue and muscle pain??? Yeah right. If they make b12 a prescription med like in the US, I am screwed, because my doctor refuses to order it for me despite my symptoms and risk factors.
I agree with the B12 I take it everyday and h ave for 40 years now. It's cheap and it's great...
My 96 year old mom and I just placed my 67 year old brother in a adult family home because he's been diagnosed with dementia and fatty liver disease and his significant other could not take care of him anymore. He was diagnosed in his 40s with diabetes but never took it seriously with his a1c in the 12 range. He drank sugar pop etc. Its sad
Sorry about your brother , I hope there is improvement when his diet changes 🙏
@@TJ-pq8jr When they don't listen to you it's painful to watch. My son has taken a liking to energy drinks recently, packed with sugar and chemicals of course.
When he was a baby, I didn't want him to end up with bad teeth like mine, so I didn't give him sugary foods (even though I ate them to excess myself, usually in secret).
Over the years, my habits have come to his attention and I blame myself for being a sloppy influence.
I tell him over and over again - stop with the energy drinks.
I tried to tell him on the point of excess caffeine, sugar and his still-perfect teeth, weight gain (a little, just recently), his anxiety problems (yes, he has those too. He knows caffeine heightens anxiety and still drinks that rubbish).
I even offered to buy him his week's worth of handy drinks with our usual groceries (choosing flavoured spring water). He's drinking those - 'and' buying energy drinks with his own money.
A truly horrifying video on the health cost of energy and soda drinks is something I'm going to have to look for and share (newly subscribed, so maybe there's one on this channel).
@@debbiehenri345 I’ve been where where you are with a family member and close friend…. Caffeine and sugar are drugs and addictive. There is nothing we can do for an addicted person who won’t help themselves! My best advice is to be an example…live your best life…. Maybe they’ll see you and join….. I’ve come to accept that we each add or subtract to our …what ive come to call … our personal expiration date…. Be content to know you’ve done what you can…. We can’t live someone else’s life for them! ❤
High blood sugar in blood constantly will destroy the whole body especially the brain. The brain cells die.
Taking insulin slows this process down but does not stop it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful information! So well explained. I see my PX next week and will ask for this test. My Mom passed 2 years ago with Dementia/Alzheimer’s. The Dr never explained any of this to us. I’ve been experiencing short term memory loss and want to do what I can to protect myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You’re truly making a difference in so many lives.❤
My Mum passed away a few weeks ago from this. It is a heartbreaking journey i wouldnt wish on anybody.
Awesome! I have just embarked on a master's programme in Dementia and this video broke it down really good. What a good teacher. Thanks ☺️
I couldn’t agree with you more!
Thank you! I hope you will share when you graduate. We need more people like you ❤ Congratulations! How rewarding!
Thank you. This is the clearest video on the subject I've seen. My mum got early-onset dementia in her late fifties and just died last year at 76. It's a horrible disease and I'm doing my best to avoid it, but im not doing enough and need to push myself more.

Dr Carlos.. you are one of the rare Dr's who advocate eating a balanced diet of everything..it's so good to hear this as many Dr's only advise avoiding sugar some say carbs..some fats..oils and the list goes on...
My mom passed away at 67yrs in December 2022 from FTD, it was so painful seeing her in that condition and deteriorating day by day, She was a strong powerful women with a huge heart,the most amazing thing is that her brain shrunk to a pea size Dr's were amazed that she still could move a speak,recognize and move , up until she passed she recognized us,only the last two days before passing she had lost her speech completely.My daughter and I had the privilege of holding her while she slowly slip away into heaven.
This is crazy. Last week, I had an MRI and memory test. Because my memory is not good at this point. My mother got dementia when she was 79. She's 84 now. I have been forgetting confused lately. Texting at times is hard for me. I'm only 57, and I'm worried. I see my doctor on Monday. It's a scary feeling. Subscribed & liked. Also, my impulse control isn't there anymore.
I have anxiety problem but not in meditation. Every time I made doctor appointments, I d get pain on the area, eye exam - pain around me eyes, dental exam- tooth ache, mammogram- pain on my chest and higher back… I didn’t do anything differently and all I could connect the dots was the Dr Apptm caused my anxiety!! But the pain was REAL, not imaginary… once I figured it, the pain has gone one by one. Subconscious stress is very very damaging …
@recuerdos2457 , a very close friend of mine. She had surgery last week. My anxiety was so bad. My BP went up because I was so worried. 200/110. My BP finally went down around this past Tuesday. But, my memory loss started about a year and a half ago. It's just getting worse. Not to mention, I received a call from my Gasteologist doctor with alil concerning results from my blood work. It's easier said than done. When everything just keeps coming. I'm just worried about my cat, Janis. Lol.
Get a booster seems to be a cureall
Thank You Dr Carlos for sharing good advice about our health. Everybody else has their hand out and wants to get paid for their advice. That just makes you a cut above all of them. Speaking on behalf of everyone on here, including myself. Thank you so very much you’re a kind hearted n caring man that truly cares about spreading the word knowing that your advice will help us live longer and healthier lives. ❤❤
My great grandmother and grandfather had Alzheimers. It's a horrible condition. Seeing them deteriorate and forgetting their own names was the saddest thing. My grandfather went from an active, quick witted man, who loved racing cars and baseball to playing games like a pre schooler.

How is YOUR DIET?
GET IN THE HABIT OF USING TURMERIC (PILL OR DRINK FORM)....🧠
Avoid statins.
😢 I went through the same with my Father. 11 children & I was the only one who took care of him. It will forever sicken and PAIN me in every way. I'm so sorry 🙏 ♥.
Thank you for the information Dr.
I’ve been a career Paramedic/Firefighter for 21 years in the Northern Virginia, USA area. I’m now 54 years old and I can actually tell my memory is becoming an issue. As you can imagine I deal with high amounts of stress and my career makes having a normal sleeping pattern impossible. I do try and eat/exercise regularly . I love my career but unfortunately I fear it is slowly killing me.
High stress levels, including the continuous lack of a good nights sleep is definitely detrimental to ones health and general well-being.
Do yourself a favour and change your vocation in your life.
You have already acknowledged the fact that your stress levels and your poor sleep quality has you thinking that this situation is, in fact detrimental to your mental and physical health. Only you, have the power to change your, dare l say, unfortunate and unhealthy work situation.
I'm sure you already know, deep down within you, what you must, inevitably do, for the betterment of your overall health. The decision is yours, go for it, you have a lot to gain, if you do. No job is worth health and well-being.
All the best for the future. 👍👍
Bruce Simpson. My heart goes out to you. I profusely thank you for ur frontline service. I’ve read many testimonies from firefighters and EMTS . The PTSD IS ENORMOUS. Some of these first responders are doing EMDR therapy which they say is helping them tremendously. Pls look into it. I’m sure ur probably already looking into retirement also. Also alcohol exacerbates ur inflammation due to mycotoxins in alcoholic drinks especially beer. Hope this helps you somewhat. Also I take melatonin for sleep. It never worked when I was younger but works now for whatever reason. Ty again for ur incredible service. Get well. Ur certainly doing a smart thing by listening to Dr Carlos here.
@@laraoneal7284 You are right. Our bodies naturally produce melatonin when we are young and we don’t make enough later on in life. Thus the supplements really help a lot of people
Oh Lord. I am so sorry. I worked in a high stress/toxic environment. My mother suffered from vascular dementia. I have memory problems. I had to leave work because I could physically no longer perform my duties. I could retire. Glad I'm out of that stressful environment. It seems like you may be able to retire & get a job not as stressful 🤷 I highly recommend it for you. Please, for yourself & those who love you so much, check into this for your well being. Thank you for being there for others for all these years. But you also need to be there for your own self. God Bless you in all you do. 🙏
You should see a neurologist to check if you have any problem in your brain.
So glad Dr Carlos posted this! RUclips’s best eye opening video on the Internet! Thank you Dr Carlos.
A childhood friend of mine died of Primary Progressive Aphasia. She was diagnosed at 46 and died at 49. This wiped them out financially too. This was just absolutely heartbreaking to witness and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
What was your friends first symptom of primary progressive aphasia ? and what variant did she have ? I think my husband may have this and it's so upsetting to me. He just retired this year after 48 years of hard work 6 days a week never having a vacation . What a sin if he's gonna be hit with this now when he's so happy and wanting to travel.
@kg5521 I wasn't there during all this. She lived in TX and I'm in the Northwest. Bit her husband said that it started when she went back to school to get her degree for her job. He came home and one of her textbooks was filled with Post-It notes. Bit by bit she was having more and more trouble finding words to express herself. Idk what kind of variation she had. This literally wiped them out financially before she died. I am so sorry about your poor husband.
My husband was dx with FTD, Frontotemporal dementia, when he was active duty Air Force, at age 45. His parents didn’t have FTD. His dad passed away at late 80’s of pneumonia. His Mom still alive and will be 97 this month, walking, talking and mostly independent.
My husband FTD did raced rather quickly. He is now 61, and in a full care facility. He is the youngest still at the facility now 9 yrs.
Just saw this as it came up on my feed.
I wonder about any vaccines they gave your husband in the Air Force that were experimental? Could be something like that caused his. It's such a sad disease.
@@stepoff1277 You know, I thought as much. There was one set of vaccines he took and his area got so nasty infected. Which was so odd. He has to get treated for that. So ?? I know many rec’d them, but it affects differently to some.
Don't rule out contaminated bases and duty stations. We were stationed at a few and my husband's father was stationed in camp Le juene when he was a child.. Much Love to you and your husband and family.. 💕
So sorry Anna
So sorry for your losses. ❤
I like this guy's way of making us understand the basics.
I wished they would teach children about these basic but vital things to know to stay healthy
Naw. Their too invested in gender affirming care and satanic rituals.
They wouldn't probably care, because it was taught in school. In one ear, out the other.
@@dudanunesbleff maybe some would.
Thanks a lot Dr. Carlos, very good explained!👍🏽
My Mother had dementia. It was awful. So this scares me. You presented the best information of any of the other videosI have watched about dementia. And it was done in about 18 minutes. I feel better knowing that there are some things I can do to prevent it. Thank You
Same fears due to my dad's dx. I'm super sensitive to everything related to memory and cognition with myself and everyone around me. 😔

Good info . If you don't make time for wellness, you will be forced to make time for illness . It would have been nice if you could have explained what INFLAMATION actually is, it certainly was mentioned a hell of a lot.
Such a strong instructive presentation.!! Thank you greatly Dr.Carlos.
The best explanation yet! Clear and thorough! Thank you.
This one video made more sense and had a more positive impact on my understanding of dementia than all the advice I got from Hospice Caregivers who advised me during the 12 years I cared for my mother who had Alzheimers. THANK YOU! I feel better prepared to do what I must to ensure my own best possible life. Subscribing right now. Thank you, Dr. Carlos! With love from Atlanta.
Ok i just cross the bridge when i get there. There’s no way of knowing whether i will get it or not but i will keep exercising and watching what i eat to stay healthy for as long as possible 🤞
This is a very good talk. My dad lived until age 93 but vascular dementia took hold several years prior. Thank you for giving a concise talk about how we can harness our health to better avoid this condition that robs us of enjoying our later years.
stem cells
Until such time as stem cell treatments are routinely covered under Medicare and private insurance, I'm afraid we'll not see dementia being aggressively addressed in the clinical setting.
@@CindyMcKitrick-vp9rg Hi Cindy, I had stem cells injected into my spine 3 months ago. a remarkable modality! I went to RMI in costa rica. But,listen... Dreambody clinic in puerta vallarta deals with dementia. I can only strongly encourage you to go to their website. The usa is lagging behind in a major way. Josh,the american who opened the clinic makes his own daughter cells right there at the clinic. The fda here will only allow mother cells from the umbilical cord. This is the problem. Freeze and transport is not a good method as so many die. Waiting for clinical trials is fruitless. Here in the States what you get is really who knows, maybe hgh and vit b12. There they count the cells by a machine called a flow cyclometer that prooves a 98% viability. And they are warm and ready to go. My wife is showing signs and I am taking her there. As I am 66 years old I understand that my body does not produce enough stem cells. Straight up...I have given you a direction to heal.
I think it's worth mentioning fasting.
The best, most understandable and complete description ever of Dementia/Alzheimers. Thank you so much!
Im a 72 year male diagnosed with Parkinsonism ( not Parkinsons Disease ). I regularly chew nicorette....which is held to check dementia. Though I have fatigue issues my mind is probably sharper and memory better than most people I meet including those much younger.
Truly informative.
I have a life long friend that I noticed seemingly somewhat confused. Her table was strewn with paperwork and sending out bills. I noticed she was filling out deposit slips. I mentioned it and suggested she uses her checks to do that. She didn't take it well. Then she mentioned her nephew which I know there in their early 40's so I asked he if she meant her Grandson. "Yes, why, what did I say?" This all happened within 6 months. I live in Florida 6 months and back to our stomping grounds.
3rd year back and seems very severe. Her husband and children are quite aware but but can't afford a nice place for her.
On and on it goes and is so painful.
This is excellent. Great information and perfectly presented in an engaging way. Thank you!
Excellent information. My mother passed from Alzheimer’s in 2018. I’m 60 and it’s always in my mind that i could have Alzheimer’s, I exercise daily and try to eat clear but I still struggle with inflammation.
Try a Vegan diet.. I used to have a lot of inflammation but not as much anymore(I’m 55 yrs.young)
Stay away from sugar
Stay away from vegan cult diets. Watch dr ken berry for info
The blood type & intermittent fasting could assist.
Take a long fasting every 3 months with Magnesium and Calcium

Very glad that this video showed up randomly (I don't believe in "coincidence".) My mother developed Alzh, in her 50's (before she was simply psychotic when it came to me, she made me know from early childhood that she wanted nothing to do with me, feeling was mutual.) She finally died in a nursing home, in her 90's. About two month ago I was talking to my brother (3 years younger than me) and I told my daughter that I thought he had early signs of the condition. He's 73. (He lives in Puerto Rico, I live in Minnesota.) A few days ago my daughter talked to my brother on the phone and agreed with me. I am very healthy, haven't needed a doctor since 1999, but lately I'm getting forgetful in terms of simple spoken or written terms. You can bet that I intend to take notes, because the is the very last thing I want is to end like my mother. My number one most important for me is my intelligence. Alz, is scary to say the least.

THANK YOU!
I run a senior facility, and your insight on th is the topic is fantastic. Thank you.
Dr Carlos, first video I’ve watched on this subject matter that I completely agree with. Outstanding explanation, and I’m not one to be easily convinced. But the logic behind the explanation of the disease was clearly backed by scientific evidence, in my opinion. I am a big believer in the food - health connection also. Which is what many folks fail to see, the correlation between their illnesses, and the garbage they eat. I’m subscribing.
but no mention of stem cells
What you eat is building your stem cells so garbage in, garbage out.
Please give the stats of how this has grown over the past 100 years as I cannot remember this being an issue when I was young....
This is great information. Thank you! There is a reason America is well known for having starving citizens that are obese. It seems the amount of sugar, preservatives and hormones in our food are making us all pre diabetic and affecting our health as well as shutting down many of our reproductive systems. Insulin resistance is a real thing. Also you can eat very little and be full most of the day if your food is healthy and full of nutrients. I have experienced this first hand.
I hate telling this story, but it needs to be shared. I was raised on boxed foods by young parents who didn’t know how to cook. My diet was what was on tv commercials and as I got older fast food more and more. Well, my reproductive system began to attack itself and the pain was unreal. My doctors did so many surgeries and took out one of my ovaries in a span of ten years. At 27 I was so sick that I had to have a hysterectomy in order not to have a period 24 days of every month. I was in so much pain and my estrogen was out of control high! Though I tried, I am now 32 and have no children. I wanted a family more than anything. I consider my government and the poisons they allow in food and medicines the cause for my sterilization now. I am angry, hurt and feel absolutely betrayed by my government in America. We used to be the home of the brave. Now they want to kill us in masses. Is this really different than the Nazis in WW2?
Eat healthy, buy organic and so it becomes highly demanded and prices will become more reasonable. Teach your children to cook basics so they can have a basic understanding of how to prepare their own healthy food. Get full vitamins in real food and learn to cook. It’s pretty easy, actually.
The future generations are the next targets. Think for yourselves! Don’t let the government treat you like worthless stock. Please don’t wait until you suffer a loss as great as I have. It will haunt you the rest of you life, I promise. The world is better than this, we just have to see it. ❤
True, everthing we do to our body affects all areas of our body. Thanks for the useful info and the helpful advice Dr. Carlos

My mother passed away in 2021, she had FTD (the type of dementia that Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with) she wasn’t diagnosed until about a year before she passed away. They were treating her for anxiety and assumed it was an onset of Alzheimer’s. She was physically healthy when FTD symptoms first started. 5 years later, she was wheelchair bound, unable to speak or understand being spoken to, and passed away. I didn’t know what FTD was before this, now I’m seeing that this type of dementia is absolutely very specific symptoms shared among all that have it.
A simple formula to beat dementia:
Be active in all your wakeful hours.
1. Do exercises befitting your age n health for atleast half an hour everyday morning.
2. Read news n stories that you enjoy.
3. Spend time with your friends.
4. Eat light food that you enjoy eating.

1. AVOID SUGAR EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE BECAUSE MOST AMERICAN FOODS ARE SUGARED TO
MAKE YOU A FOOD ADDICT TO INCREASE CORPORATE SALES.
2. Avoid highly over processed foods.
3. Avoid chemicalized hybrids and GMOs based foods.
4. Avoid drinking and using fluoridated in your entire house (install a whole house de-fluoridating filter that removes all
fluoridation from the water.
5. Avoid fast foods.
6. Avoid junk foods.
7 Avoid soda drinks.
8. Eat only "CERTIFIED" from farm to table food products (there are many fakes and cheaters).

28:17 to 29:45 ruclips.net/video/K3ksKkCOgTw/видео.html This rat is perfectly healthy. Put him in a vat of water and he finds his way everytime. Now look at this guy, what he has been eating is the equivalent of a North American diet complete with all the fats and sugars we regularly consume. He doesn't know where to go. His brain has been damaged. These rats were totally normal, and then they turned into demented animals. They don't remember they're learning after even after a day. And as the challenge gets harder and harder, they fail more and more, just like a human with Alzheimer's disease. In this lab, the belief now is that Alzheimer's is really diabetes of the brain, linked to insulin levels which can be affected BY TOO MUCH SUGAR.
13:55 ; 16:11 ; 28:01 ; 32:15 ; 39:05 ; 16:11 The Secrets of Sugar - the fifth estate. 1985 is the year when they started ADDING sugar of all kinds and types and forms into all processed foods and lacing even baby foods with TOO MUCH SUGAR in the hope they can turn Americans into food addicts for they have reached the physical limits on how much food Americans can be lured into consuming. Their solution? Add and lace sugar into all foodstuffs and drinks and health foods to force them to buy more and more and more UNHEALTHY processed foods regardless of their long term health effects! They made you into a processed and sugared foods addict(s) from the time you were born up to this very day. That's the reason why sugar and sugared foods are more appealing to Americans than healthy foods because they turned you already into sugar and sugared foods addicts from the time you were born up to this very present day.

@@saratkumar2484 agree 💯‼🙌and number 5. enough night rest.
Good info. Id be mind blown if medical people could really encourage the population to be healthy.
Thank you Doctor Carlos for sharing your knowledge. May God bless you.
Was not interested at first but listened right through! Informative and interesting!
Dr Carlos, you are easy to listen to about hard subjects. Thank you 🙏
Wow Thank you Dr Jaramillo for your videos in English, the explanation of this topic was so much needed, you gave us valuable information, you are now my favorite to watch in English!❤
This is the most comprehensive explanation of dementia that I've ever heard! Thank you very much Doc.
My Mom just passed this last April from a very rapid case of what was diagnosed as Lewy Body dementia. She was 87 and extremely active and independent (driving/president of two craft organizations, did extremely complex hand work/art, and managed a house and farm). In the space of 4 months, she progressed from first symptoms to death. Do you have any videos on this type of dementia? I understand that Robin Williams suffered from this type of disease. Thanks for any insight.
Sounds like my mom, she's 88 and deteriorating fast.
Thank you Doc. Carlos for the medical tips for Dimentia .
Good job making something complacated ,easy to understand.
Out of South Africa: thank you Dr! What an eye opener!
Most helpful doctor. Thank you for this valuable information. I feel hopeful and inspired!
Thank you so much!! I have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. You have given me hope. I will definitely use everything you have explained.
Thank you for the very clear explanation, Dr. Carlos. My Mother died in 2022 at the age of 92 after suffering from Dementia for more than 10 years. It was tough for us her 5 children. It was devastating to watch her spiralling down in cognition, in memory, in social ability.
3 of us her children are positive when tested with Thalassemia Alfa Minor. It may be 'minor' but the broken red blood cells are really affecting how our body function.
I am now 60, been eating healthy actually since 1997 but still did some cheating sometimes here and there, I am now determined to be more strict in aboiding foods that can cause inflammation, integrating more healthy fats in my diet (so far I do this only 2-4 times per week), as I am aware that I am experiencing some memory loss here and there now. But you were right. The last three years I have been having deep stress after I found out my daughter was victim of an abusive marriage. Now after three years she is starting to get out of her depression, things also improved on my side. The stress affected me considerably. But I will follow your recommendations from now on. Thanks again!
Excellent video with clear explanations. It teaches us how and what to do. Glad that I have come across. God bless you Doctor!
Thank you for being simple and straight to the point on Alzheimers condition.
My brother died at 69 of Pick’s Disease (frontotemporal dementia). It was heart breaking watching him decline. He loved his sweets but his type II diabetes was well controlled. . No one else in our family including our parents or grandparents had dementia. I am on a keto diet attempting to keep carbs less than 20 Grams a day. I pray this will prevent diabetes and dementia. I know my inflammation has improved.
A very cruel disorder...a brother in law died of Picks in his 40s and now we are dealing with it again 💔 😢
My brother died of Picks disease as well.He started showing signs around age 65 and went downhill really quickly but lived around ten years.Awful disease.
